About
Gaddafi's drawing room, Bab al Aziziya, Tripoli
I am a documentary filmmaker. Currently, I am working on films related to the Rohingya crisis. I also take on assignments for various types of organisations from the corporate, government and NGO sectors (see my clients page for a flavour).
I have been focused on Rohingya and Myanmar-related journalism and filmmaking since 2016, covering stories that look into the political, humanitarian, and social complexities of the region. My work has been published in outlets such as The Guardian, BBC, CNN, The Diplomat, Dhaka Tribune, The Washington Post, Southeast Asia Globe, Democratic Voice of Burma, and others. Through both written and visual storytelling, I aim to bring critical perspectives to underreported issues, particularly those affecting marginalised communities.
I am a proud member of the National Union of Journalists ( NUJ ( UK)). Having been fortunate enough to work in Shoreditch, London for several years, I tweet about street art here. My main twitter account is @shafiur
